I donโ€™t care how many TMNT movies they make. Nothing will beat the original 1990 masterpiece. Itโ€™s not that the costumes are great. Itโ€™s that CGI is worse

Hi, Iโ€™m Stefan. New Yorkโ€™s hottest new social network is a bluesky server running off of a Commodore 64 once owned by Josh Groban, now sitting in the basement of an abandoned chicken processing plant. Users include Brett Michaels, Chelsea Clinton, and the cast of Joey.

Create temporary servers for murder mysteries, online parties, etc. the opportunities are endless. Right now, this is popular as a โ€œnot-naziโ€ Twitter, but this could be so much more

if the whole decentralized thing actually takes off, Iโ€™m starting my own blue sky server just for my kids and skeeting to remind them to do their fucking chores

Could I run my own instance of bluesky on a raspberry pi?

AVOIDING TWITTER POSTS IS A CRIME

I donโ€™t have the books with me, and I see your point about Marge, but I remember the descriptions being generally ugly not masculine; Bellatrix is โ€œgaunt with stringy hairโ€, and Umbridge is โ€œtoad likeโ€. Any more examples? Correlation between attractiveness and goodness is sexist, though.

I think one of the most shocking aspects of Rowlingโ€™s anti-trans views are that they seem at odds with the broader themes of acceptance in the book series. The bigots are the bad guys. The Malfoys are conservative and clearly evil.

You know those Vacant/Occupied bathrooms? My youngest daughter figured out that if you slide the โ€œoccupiedโ€ wording to the right, you can slide it to โ€œvacantโ€ and unlock the bathroom from the outside.

And PayPal! This isnโ€™t even a quit while youโ€™re ahead lesson, itโ€™s a focus on things that make the world a better place lesson. Why canโ€™t the rich and powerful focus on teal problems? I donโ€™t care if the widget that cleans our air is called the Musk/Gates/McDonalds box as long as it saves us.

The craziest thing about Elon Musk is that if he had just stuck with Space X, electric cars and solar panels, he may have been remembered as a visionary for decades to come. Instead heโ€™ll be remembered as the arrogant bigot that blew billions ruining Twitter

The giant smog cloud of doom thatโ€™s blanketing the northeast is really bumming me out. We drove from Pennsylvania to Vermont and itโ€™s literally following us. At least Vermont has better beer

Iโ€™m getting classic Internet nostalgia vibes from blue sky though. Donโ€™t know if it will last, but itโ€™s fun now

Iโ€™ll try the other two. As for hollow knight, I donโ€™t think I have the patience even for Metroidvania games anymore. I have to spend 20 minutes to find the green key of whatever? And if I stop the game in a dungeon, I have to start over at the top? I donโ€™t got time for all the backtracking!

I can just play super Mario brothers, listen to Mozart, and cry without the assistance of a 22 year old that discovered how to use the Unity Engine.

There are some games, like VVVVVV and Celeste, that I really like. But theyโ€™re hard to find. Most indie 2d games are either boring and repetitive, or theyโ€™re artsy, which means 95% of the game is slow fades, bad pixel art, and piano music.

I still think of myself as a gamer, but every time someone talks about video games they mention something less than 15 years old and I donโ€™t know what theyโ€™re talking about. Why do so many games take place in three dimensions? Iโ€™m looking for something simpler than real life.
